| Description of the problem | Front lower control arm failure, replacement required. Recall 10e019000 is noted and did not include this specific vin. The failure diagnosed at 114k miles but was felt in the irregular handling movements from the front end while stopping and turning. Dealer replaced struts and lower control arms due to failure. I believe this failure was premature to the life of what should be expected from these items from the difference after repair these control arms were not 100% i retained the old parts for evaluation of failure due to poor construction or design. The defect was noticed as a ;oud clunging noise during turns. |
